Seeking solace in a mad world
October 11, 2016 at 6:42 pm
Hey Forum,
I am Andy, and I just joined. Unsurprisingly, I am a liberal atheist. I live in rural North Carolina, so I keep my atheism in the closet most of the time, and I joined because I would like a place to discuss and maybe vent from time to time. No big back story... I'm a father, I teach history, I speak a little Japanese, and I can't decide between a beard or just big sideburns.
I look forward to joining in on your discussions... Thank you!

Nice, I studied history, but I couldn't imagine putting up with stubborn kids. Japanese, while I don't know more than a few words, always fascinated me, since it has such a nice sound. Looking forward to discuss things with you.

Well, hello!

Grow a beard and post pics in the beard thread, you'll get lots of love, brotha.
